Rapid Survival Update Announcement


Hi Everyone
Rapid Survival will be getting a massive upgrade in May!
And this post will give you a sneak peek at what's to come.

Because the original version was made in a very short timespan, the game wasn't very maintainable to efficiently add more content to it.
Due to that fact, Rapid Survival has been rebuilt from scratch in the latest version of Godot 4.

The update will contain plenty of features;

  • 4 islands to play🌴
  • Unique challenges per island ✅ 
  • Night & Day cycle🌙
  • Rain & puddles 🌧
  • Farming 🍉
  • Temperature system 🌡
  • Personal high-scores 🥇
  • Interactive tutorial 🧠 


Comparison to the current version
For starters, the new building system has been fully overhauled. When entering 'build mode', the camera will lock in place, and you can build anywhere you can see on screen. The build cursor is controlled either by the mouse or arrow keys. It is much more intuitive to build your island compared to the original.
Building options may differ due to the island's unique conditions.

Rain may appear while playing, it will aid you in collecting more water, it will speed up growth of your farms, and it will cool you down on islands where temperature conditions are present.
Darkness can be combatted by placing campfires around, be aware that they may also heat up the player.


Island selection has become much more detailed and interactive, showing you various statistics about your scores, the challenges within that island and what conditions it has.


Now, as for some details;
The update will release in May and the game will stay free to play.
Rapid Survival will be playable in the browser or via a download (Windows)
And the game will be fully compatible with Mouse/Keyboard & the use of an Xbox controller.

That about wraps it up.
I hope you will check it out when the update hits.
Cya!
